A bengali text that outlines an ideology, japonbad (could be loosely translated as livism). The text builds on roktomangser manush (literal translation : human in flesh and blood, based on the idea of transindividual as in Gilbert Simondon) as subject in contemporary capitalism which no longer revolves around the utopia of the individual. The text outlines a physical layer of psycho-social existence with actual and virtual (Jagotik porisor, could be translated as empirical space). Power reproduces through the reification of that virtual and politics of power asserts power through State, juridical and other establishments, parliamentary democracy, celebrity and media establishments etc. to portray power as an anchoring component of physical layer. The text invokes a politics of the physical layer of psycho-social existence which aims to diminish and possibly end the hegemony of the metaphysical layer, ie., power. The text describes socialization of surplus and primacy of living labour as two aspects of Jagotik porisor, elaborating on the idea of desiring-assemblages as in Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The text rejects the portrayal of non-institutional domination and controls within the Jagotik porisor as expressions of power and describes it as hegemonic inequity which power makes alliance with. The text outlines a manifesto for equity utilizing the antagonism within the Jagotik porisor. The text narrates the endeavour of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles as a formation of an ideology conditioned by transcendental politics of working class, despite themselves condemning Ideology as an illusion of power. The text proposes that a non-transcendental ideology, without being an illusion of power, is possible if partialness, affirmation and temporality are made essential components of it and the possibility of transcendental political moments are not denied rather accepted as paradoxes.
